I think the key thing that depreciates is all their models. You train one at crazy cost and 6 months later it’s worth $0. If you ignore that depreciation you look much more profitable.

Model inference compute outweights training compute by 10:1 and more for frontier LLMs. "LLM depreciation" is an expense, but not a dealbreaker.
